[PATCHv2] alpha: Remove anonymous union in struct stat [BZ #27042]

Thu Dec 10 01:19:45 GMT 2020


This is clever, but it confuses downstream detection in at least zstd
and GNOME's glib. zstd has preprocessor tests for the 'st_mtime' macro,
which is not provided by the path using the anonymous union; glib checks
for the presence of 'st_mtimensec' in struct stat but then tries to
access that field in struct statx (which might be a bug on its own).
---
The macros affect the definitions in kernel_stat.h, so rename them. Not
thrilled.
